Tpi iroc vs 5.0 lx ..

Less drag = into the torque faster = more horsepower.

Lol underdrive pulleys reduce drag to.

LOL you don't even know what horsepower is!

You're inexperienced and dont understand physics. There is a difference in reducing drag and creating power. There is also drag through your drivetrain. You can attempt to reduce the drag but you can bot eliminate it.

You havent created any new horsepower above factory yet. Youve only reduced some drag

You sound like you are under 18 years old. Do what you want, talking to you is like arguing with a wall. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

With that said, those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.

You win, your autozone fans added 35 rear wheel horsepower

Lol reducing drag frees up power.

When I dyno my car, I'll post up and when I prove you wrong like I did all over this thread, I hope you feel like the dumbass you are.

You forget who you're talking to. This kid is a bona fide drag racer, complete with busted shock towers and sketchy second gear shifts.

So you turned the blind eye to everything I've posted?

Some of the people on here are a fucking joke. Let me guess you want the softest spring possible in the rear of a drag car too?

Anyone can go fast in a straight line. Only some people can do it and make turns too.

Cool story bro.

You guys are arguing about two cars that'd have a hard time against a modern V6 Camry, Altima or Accord.

LOL, how ironic!

I had an 89 Iroc back in 1994. It was a 350 TPI. I had the cat removed, 3" factory mid pipe, and cut the bottoms out of the dual air filter boxes in the front. That's it. No timing advance, no weight reduction, no drag radials, no gears, nada. It ran very conistant 13.9-14.0 run after run on regular Michelin Pilots. My buddy drove a dove gray 90 Mustang LX hatch with a 5 speed. He had his timing advanced, cut the ripples out of his stock air tube, o/r H-pipe, and 3.73's. I would completely destroy him from 55-120+mph. Just walk away. The faster we went, the worsr it got. I had 2.70 rear gears as well!

8.82 is close to what I would see as being the "prefect pass" for my car.

From seeing time slips, if I could get the 60ft and not spin going into second, it would run a low 8.9 high 8.8 I think. And that's with street tires.

If you ran that In a heavy gt, props. In a 100% stock GT. Damn that's moving!

Me and my buds all ran high 8's with our 5pd foxes after some practice. It's not a perfect pass, just a decent one with a car that wasn't worn out.

It's a lot easier to run a good time in a 3 year old car than it is a 20 year old example of the same car.

I remember a bunch of 91-92 Z28s running 14.3-14.4 at Ennis at 93-96 mph back when they were fairly new.

A stock 91 LX coupe with a full interior and all the factory stuff still in the car would have a really hard time going much faster than a 14.5 with a great driver and perfect track conditions.

Now throw in the basic mods that every fox body got within hours of being delivered (gears, exhaust, advanced timing, air cleaner, GT 40 upper, Welds) and you are looking at a solid 13.50 car with a mediocre driver and good track conditions.

The 3rd gen F-bodies rarely ever had more modifications than a "chip" and maybe a muffler. Header swaps were a PITA, people were scared of the intake and they wouldn't go into OD at WOT. Staying relatively stock most would never see a 13 second time slip.

I feel like this is 1997 all over again.

My first fox (never should have sold) was an 87 w/37k miles when I got it in Dec. 96 5.0 5spd coupe. Kinda weird with options. Had power locks and cruise, but no power mirrors or windows.

At the most it had full exhaust, pullies, e-fan, short belt, cold air, and free mods.

I beat my first lt-1 4th gen f-bod when the car only had free mods, offroad-h, flows, fan, and drop-in K&N.

Even beat an lt-1 a4 C4 from a roll leaving Ennis from 70. Slowly pulling on him the entire time into some really high speeds. Should have been a lighter, more powerful, and more slippery car. Nothing about that made sense to me, but it happened

I never lost to any 3rd gen f-bod.

I was pretty good at getting my car out of the hole and the car was a bit of a "freak" I guess. I never got beat by a fox with the same mods. Never had trouble from any stock 94-95 Cobras, 96-98 Cobras, lt-1 fbods, etc.

[Super Coupe]

That sounds pretty lofty, go get it dynoed.

I had the same mods as him and mine made 236rwhp 318 tq. Ran 13.0 on drag radials. Sprayed it and made 341 503. Ran 11.6 topped out at 113. Needed some 355s

Mine had a valve body mod from this company called Wolf something??? It would go into OD under wot. I know it was hard on the trans because of the weak OD band, but mine never gave me any issues in the 3 years I owned it.

My 87 went 13.70's with drop-in k&n, removed silencer, and bumped timing. Spare and jack were removed too. Car was always considered one of those "freaks" though. Speed density cars always seemed to run harder stock vs. stock as far as I noticed.
I only weighed about 130lbs then and I'm sure that helped.

I ended up buying a GT later with more mods that ran A LOT slower when I first got it despite being able to cut .2 off my 60' with better tires/suspension.
